PEGGlNG-HORN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 567,626, datedSeptember 15, 1896.

Application filed February 1, 1896. Serial No. 577,727. (No model.) I

To It whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WALTER L. WHITTE- MORE and PERLEY R. GLASS, ofQuincy, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Pegging-Horns, of which thefollowing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is aspecification.

This invention relates to that class of pegging-machines in which aswinging horn is used for supporting the boot or shoe; and it consistsin the construction of the non-rotating tip and its connecting parts.

The mechanism is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a plan showing the tip-holding piece which is attached toand forms a part of the horn, and the tip. Fig. 2 shows the tip-holdingpiece in vertical section and the tip in elevation. Fig. 3 is anenlarged view showing the tip in elevation. Fig. 4 is a verticalsection, enlarged, of the tip. Fig. 5 is a plan showing a plate which isattached to the tip-holding piece and serves to retain the tip in place,allowing the horn to be turned without rotating the tip.

We have not shown the horn in the drawings, as our device may be appliedto any of the ordinary horns, our invention relating solely to thenon-rotating tip and the mechanism for attaching it to the horn.

In the drawings, A, Figs. 1 and 2, represents the tip-holding piece.This piece is adapted to be attached by screws to the upper end of thehorn, the screws passing through the holes B B B. The tip H serves as aninside rest for the sole of the shoe and has a slot K passing throughit. The base member II is circular, as shown. The upper part of the tipconsists of a raised U-shaped part H 1-1 the arm H being broad, whilethe arm H is quite narrow. The two arms H and H form ayoke like piece,leaving an opening at 1?, through which the projecting ends of the rowof pegs may pass as the shoe is fed along on the tip.

The arm H is made narrow, so as to allow of two rows of pegs. A11annular groove II is formed between the base member H and the member HThe part H has gear teeth out upon it, which engage with the teeth onthe pinion L. The object of the gear and pinion is to hold the tip frombeing rotated when the horn is turned. This arrangement is not new andneed not be more fully described. The tip H is attached to thetip-holding piece A by means of the plate 0, the edge of which engageswith the groove H made in the tip. The plate 0 is made fast to the pieceA by screws D D. The above-described device for holding the tip in placeis very simple and effective, and admits of removing or replacing thetip with the least amount of work, as the tip-holding device is alwaysabove the other parts of the horn. The peculiar construction of thenon-rotating tip, that is, the U-shaped upper part resting upon thecircular disk H, makes it very effective and smoothworking, as well asstrong and durable.

lVe claim- In combination with the horn of a peggingmachine anon-rotating tip having an annular groove adapted to receiveaholding-plate, and said holding-plate, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 7th day of January,A. D. 1896.
